EP2C15AF484C7N

The EP2C15AF484C7N is an Intel Cyclone® II series Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) provided in a 484-ball FBGA package. Built on the Cyclone II architecture, this commercial‑grade FPGA combines a mid‑density logic fabric with embedded memory and a flexible I/O complement for cost‑sensitive embedded and DSP‑oriented designs.

With 14,448 logic elements, approximately 0.24 Mbits of embedded RAM, and 315 I/O pins, the device is suited to applications that require integrated logic, moderate on‑chip memory, and a substantial number of external interfaces while operating from a low‑voltage core supply.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  14,448 logic elements provide mid‑density programmable logic suitable for complex control, glue logic, and moderate computational tasks.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 0.24 Mbits of on‑chip RAM (239,616 total RAM bits) for data buffering, FIFOs, and small lookup tables.
• I/O Richness  315 I/O pins allow multiple parallel interfaces and peripheral connections for system expansion and external memory interfacing.
• Low‑Voltage Core  Core supply range of 1.15 V to 1.25 V to align with modern low‑voltage system rails.
• Package & Mounting  484‑ball FBGA (23×23) surface‑mount package provides a compact, high‑density footprint for PCB designs.
• Commercial Temperature Grade  Specified operating temperature from 0 °C to 85 °C for commercial electronic environments.
• RoHS Compliant  Conforms to RoHS requirements for lead‑free assembly and regulatory compliance in applicable markets.
• Cyclone II Family Capabilities  Based on Cyclone II device architecture with family features such as embedded multipliers, PLLs, global clock networks, and flexible I/O structure as documented in the Cyclone II handbook.

Typical Applications

• Low‑Cost Embedded Processing  Ideal for control and signal coordination tasks in cost‑sensitive embedded systems that benefit from on‑chip logic and memory.
• DSP and Signal Processing  Applicable to low‑cost DSP functions where mid‑range logic density and embedded memory support filtering, buffering, and fixed‑point processing.
• Interface Bridging & Peripheral Control  Use the generous I/O set to implement protocol bridges, sensor interfaces, and custom peripheral controllers.
• Prototyping & Product Development  Suitable for evaluation and development of digital designs that require moderate logic resources in a compact package.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, mid‑density logic fabric: 14,448 logic elements provide a balance between capability and cost for many embedded and DSP tasks.
• On‑chip memory for system efficiency: Approximately 0.24 Mbits of embedded RAM reduces dependency on external memory for buffering and small data storage.
• High I/O count: 315 I/O pins enable flexible external interfacing and parallel connectivity without large external glue logic.
• Space‑efficient packaging: 484‑FBGA (23×23) delivers a small PCB footprint while preserving signal density for complex designs.
• Low core voltage support: 1.15 V to 1.25 V core supply aligns with modern power‑efficient system architectures.
• Documented Cyclone II features: Family‑level architecture support for PLLs, embedded multipliers, and robust clocking options simplifies implementation of timing‑sensitive designs.
